Chapter 145 Gu Xiu
Under the mountain, in the ground more than a hundred feet deep.

A small animal with an arched nose wandered around among the piles of rocks deep underground.

Not long after, the little beast's body found a narrow hole, and got in through a vague barrier.

After entering inside, the little beast seemed to have received the order again, raised its claws, and dug straight up.

I don't know how many years the soil under this mountain has gone through. It is very hard and there are many stones mixed in it. passage to the ground.

clack clack clack.

In an unknown cave, it was pitch-black and lifeless. At this time, there was a sound of ground cracking on the ground within the cave with a radius of tens of feet.

I saw a small animal with a mouse-headed mouse-brain broke through the thick soil layer, popped up, opened a pair of curious round eyes, looked at the situation in the cave, and screamed twice.

There was no echo in the cave, the little beast slowly crawled out from the passage just opened, crawled on the ground, and sniffed the nearby smell back and forth.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the little beast landed on its feet, stood up, and squeaked with its head held high.

Soon, a stream of light flashed, and a pretty girl in black and white hair appeared beside it out of thin air.

"Squeak."

After the white-haired girl came out, the little beast raised two muddy claws, put them lightly on the girl's legs, and tugged at her clothes, as if asking for something.

"Okay, I'll give you some fruit to eat."

The white-haired girl who suddenly appeared here just wanted to observe the surrounding situation clearly, but she had to take out a red fruit from her bosom and stuffed it into the bosom of the little beast at her feet, "Here, remember to check the fruit nearby after eating. Check it out and see if there's anything special about it."

As she spoke, she untied the thin thread wrapped around the little beast, and put the simple jade pendant at the end of the thread into her bosom.

After finishing all this, the white-haired girl turned around and looked around, and said to herself in amazement: "Wow, why is it so dark here?"

While sighing, she took out a round glass bead from the cloth bag at her waist. After injecting spiritual power into it, the bead soon emitted a warm white light, illuminating this small cave world. .

"Hey, that's it."

As the light of the beads radiated to every corner, a strange scene in the southeast corner of the cave attracted the attention of the white-haired girl.

Holding the bead, she stepped forward and cautiously approached.

After a closer look, the white-haired girl suddenly discovered that it was a white skeleton covered in old clothes.

She was startled, and took two steps back like a little rabbit.

After jumping away, soon, the white-haired girl called the little miscellaneous-haired beast over, and drove the little beast that was still nibbling the red fruit to explore the skeleton left behind by someone.

"Squeak."

Compared with someone's rat guts, this little motley beast, which is only two feet tall, is surprisingly courageous.

I saw that after receiving the order, it was not afraid, and while gnawing on the fruit, it walked towards the skeleton swaggeringly, as if it didn't pay attention to the other party at all.

"Squeak."

In just a moment, the little miscellaneous-haired beast walked to the side of the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone platform. It jumped lightly with a quick figure, jumped onto the stone platform with a clatter, and then circled around the skeleton. for a few laps.

After patrolling, it turned its head to face the owner in the distance, and nodded spiritually: "Squeak."

"Is it really all right? Is there no mechanism or anything?" The white-haired girl still didn't dare to move forward and asked from a distance.

"Squeak."

The miscellaneous-haired little beast gave a clear answer.

"call."

At this moment, the white-haired girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, she stroked her chest that was heaving due to tension, and gradually calmed down.

"That's fine."

After all, she was still a young girl. It was impossible to say that she was not afraid when she suddenly saw a dead person's bones in such a confined cave. It was considered courageous not to turn around and run away.

After calming down, the white-haired girl started thinking, thought carefully, and thought:

"Why is there a skeleton here? Could it be that the owner of this ancient cave mansion was left after sitting here?"

With such puzzlement, she bravely stepped forward and walked to the stone platform where the skeleton was.

The white-haired girl raised the bead in her hand, pointed it at the skeleton on the stone platform, and quickly confirmed it.

"Looking at his clothes, he seemed to be a Taoist priest before he was alive, and there were no signs of fighting and scratches all over his body. He should really sit here naturally after his life energy was exhausted."

"I don't know what kind of cultivation this senior ancient monk was during his lifetime. A monk who can arrange such a powerful formation here will definitely not be in the Qi training period."

"Hey, I broke in like this. Is it considered digging a grave? It seems a bit immoral."

The white-haired girl murmured to herself silently, with a pair of keen eyes scrutinizing the remains of the ancient Xiu in front of her, "But, since we're here, if we come back empty-handed, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to make a hole?"

She had never done such a thing as tomb robbery before, and it was the first time today, so she didn't know where to start.

The eyes of the skeleton on the stone platform were empty, and the white-haired girl subconsciously avoided her eyes, not daring to look directly at him.

She always felt that the other party was staring at her, as if questioning her coming. At this moment, it was as if ants were crawling all over her body, making her very uncomfortable.

Just letting the other party look at her like this, the white-haired girl was really embarrassed, she couldn't help scratching her white hair with her hands, and confessed in a low voice:
"Senior, senior, this junior came to visit unexpectedly today. He came in a bit of a hurry and didn't bring any gifts with him. Look at me, I have some fruit here to honor you. Although the things are not very expensive, it is also a piece of the junior's heart. Don't be surprised by your old man. ha"

Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise if people saw her talking to a dead man's bone here, they would probably think that something went wrong with her practice and she was dazed.

The white-haired girl piled a handful of fruits on the stone platform, and continued:
"Senior, you don't know. There are a group of tomb robbers digging holes outside your cave. When they come in, they will definitely smash all the treasures you have collected. I think, instead of doing that, it's better to get rid of the treasures first." Temporarily leave it to the juniors for safekeeping."

"." Gu Xiu's bones were empty, and he sat there without moving a muscle.

"Don't worry, this junior is just taking care of it for you, and you won't covet it. If you need it one day, just let me know, and this junior will send it to you at the appointed time. I, Hua Ying, can assure you of this, so don't worry, senior! "

"." Gu Xiu's skeleton was silent.
